| Will create issues for adjacent communities. Why not just insist on parking spots? |

Why not just let potential buyers decide whether or not they need a parking spot? Why force buyers to pay for a parking spot they don't want or need? |

Ok. Then let the buyers and builders decide that. Not the government. |

If it’s so close to metro, a parking spot could be rented out and become a source of revenue! |

I think you misunderstood the question. |

I'm not sure why someone who has lived in a neighborhood for 10 years feels they are more entitled to a street parking spot than someone who just moves in. Wait, it's actually even dumber than that. It's that someone who lives in a residence that has been in the neighborhood for a long time (regardless of when they moved in) feels more entitled to a street parking spot than someone who liven in a newer residence (regardless of when they moved in). Just silly. |

Parking literally AT Metro stations is currently about $5 a day, Monday-Friday. Assuming 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year, that would be $1,250 per year for a space. The market value of a parking space further from a Metro station would obviously be less. Plus many people don't go into the office 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year, so less again. Let's be extremely generous and say people might be willing to pay $1,000 a year for a space. Meanwhile, construction costs for underground parking are about $70,000-$100,000 per space. How does that pencil out? |

You’re moving the goalpost. The question was, “How do you go to Costco?” |

This is exactly what the legislation proposes. |

This legislation does not forbid cars or parking spaces. It allows people to make choices. If you have a job that is not near public transit, you can have a car. You can also choose to live somewhere with ample parking. |

If these are new condos, I assume the people purchasing them will understand that if they want parking, they will need to pay a fee at a local parking garage. Why would you be against this? This makes perfect sense near transit. I do hope the proposal also restricts access to local parking permits if one lives in these residences. Less dependence on cars in transit adjacent places is a great thing. I typically roll my eyes are the hard core cyclists that want bike lanes everywhere but developing new residence that do not require access to vehicles is a great thing. People can choose not to live their if it doesn’t fit their lifestyle. |
